Spectacular Dahlias

 This is my first year to grow dahlias, thanks to some friends who are expert dahlia growers. I’ve tried painting them before. Such a challenging subject. Here I go again this year! Getting started. How to capture such beauty?  

"See how the flowers of the field grow....not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these." "Therefore do not worry..." Matthew 6









Garden Poppies

 When the red poppies popped open in my raised bed, I just had to stand next to them and paint plein air in our backyard. Irresistible red!

"In your presence there is fullness of joy...! Psalm 16:ll

For the birds! Flamingos and Chickens!

 Teaching watercolors is such a delight. Chickens and flamingos were the subjects for summer classes at Westminster Village and the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette.  I am so thrilled with these paintings created by my students, some of whom had never painted watercolors.

Pass on what you have seen and heard....a loose translation of  2 Timothy 2:2....from living faith to a way of life.

 Painting plein air this summer, I saw a pattern that I call « Indiana Green. » This warm, humid climate creates luscious landscapes.

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.  He makes me lie down in green pastures..." Psalm 23
